Bug Report OBS Keeps Crashing; cef-bootstrap.exe

[CreepyCastleTV]

My OBS has been crashing non-stop ever since I installed Patch 0.15.1. I don't know if it's a coincidence but it's destroying my stream, happening at least every hour. An error code mentioning cef-bootstrap.exe comes up (not every time) but has come up more than once.

Can anyone help me with this?!?! I'm running 32 bit even though my Windows 7 can do 64 bit but 6 months ago when I installed OBS Multiplatform 64 bit it was SO unstable and just wouldn't work so I tried 32 bit and it's been great for 6 months until now all of a sudden I can't stream with it not crashing.

Also, how do I grab my log file? Can I grab it any time or do I HAVE to grab it immediately after it crashes?

If anyone has ideas I would more than appreciate the help. Thank you,
Brandyn

What error pops up?

Ok so I have 100% determined it's the Browser Source that crashes OBS. I did a bunch of "test host" or "test follower" actions, and it doesn't crash it every single time, but when I sent enough of them, it crashes guaranteed. I decided to remove ALL browser source inputs in my OBS scene collection and I have my first ever stream that didn't crash 1-2 hours in. No crash at all it was beautiful, but had to go without any of my animations so I definitely want to get this figured out.

The error seems to be 2 kinds, it either says my obs exe simply failed or more often than not it's a "cef-bootstrap.exe" error. It says:

"cef-bootstrap.exe has stopped working. Windows can check online for a solution to the prolem, check online or close the program"

Osiris, you helped me in the chat, and we uninstalled then re-installed but OBS still crashes like crazy today during stream today. So far no cef-bootstrap.exe error but I'm still getting an obs32.exe error (PS I have to use 32 bit because of elgato)

just so you know if you want to correct this error when installing you have to open your task manager and end the process for cef-bootstrap.exe it hangs up so ending it and trying the reinstall works perfectly I found. Hope this helps!
